Aviation History:
In Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. 1903, two brothers named Wright envisioned their invention to make peace; five years later the U.S. Government offered them a $25,000 contract. They rather the U.S. Government have the technology over any other.
The Wright Brothers Invention was evolving into a Warbird.
The Wright brothers wanted to use the aircraft to spy on opposing forces, but later said; "use them to bomb State heads, or the buildings that they occupied." “They weren’t mad at the guys in the trenches, just the guys in government” said Stephen Wright.
After all trial and error, by 1916 the Wright Company finished a true Warbird for the U.S. Army.
Wright Model L:
The Wright Brothers built many planes for the U.S. Army and Navy, and the model L was the last Warbird designed by the Wright Company in 1916; it was a one seat airplane at the U.S. Army’s request for a scouting machine that was light and fast.
Orville had sold the Wright Company not long after this, but stayed on as a consultant for a short time. None of the Later Wright Aircraft could compete with the European Models. National investments pushed the Warbird technology far ahead because of the possibility of a war. The U.S. would not be able to catch up in the air race till 1920.
